| The name or term "Dead End" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Dead End (disambiguation). |
- Dead End is a location on Cybertron from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The slums of Polyhex are known as Dead End, home to its most wretched citizens, the Empties.
Fiction
Marvel comics continuity
Located in Decepticon-held Polyhex, the Dead End is neutral in the civil war due to the fact that most of its residents are the derelict Empties. The large number of non-Decepticons make it a prime location for Autobots to regroup, hide and seek information for raids upon the Darkmount. The Decepticons in turn use its residents for target practice, and—as the war drags on and as resources grow ever more scarce—as fodder for the Decepticon harvester units to be melted down in the smelting pool and used to create new Decepticons. The Smelting Pool!
Deranged by being unable to confirm if Optimus Prime was truly dead, Megatron blasted the space bridge while he was standing on it and was seemingly killed, however the explosion had catapulted him into the Dead End. After his self-repair systems were able to partially revive him, he wandered and lived with the Empties, with no recollection of who he was, until he stumbled upon Sports Car Patrol leader Blackjack being ambushed by two Autobots. Blackjack crying out his name and the sight of the Autobrand returned Megatron to his senses, and he blasted the Micromasters' attackers. The Resurrection Gambit!
While Megatron was wandering about, Optimus Prime and Outback took refuge in another part while on the run from the Wreckers, who believed Optimus Prime to be a Decepticon spy. During this time, Optimus told Outback about what happened to him while he was in limbo. They were then discovered by Ultra Magnus, who decided Optimus was the real deal. Distant Thunder!
